Synopsis
Grace Miles misses her easy friendship with Asher, but growing up means growing apart. And really, how could he fall for her when they spent their childhood getting muddy in the creek and splitting sticks of gum?
But this summer, something feels different. If Grace didn't know better, she'd think Asher was flirting with her. Those dark eyes, hard body, and wicked smile make her insides swirl and her heart dare to hope for things she's convinced herself she'll never have.
Falling for your best friend shouldn't be complicated, but for Asher Bailey, loving Grace is anything but simple. The road to romance isn't smooth thanks to his pack of wild brothers who are protective of the girl next door, a take-no-sass grandmother, a small town where gossip is a spectator sport, and a feud that spans generations.
But Asher realizes his feelings are too big to ignore. Loving her isn't the risk. Losing her would be.
And one night, one kiss, changes everything.
Finally admitting their feelings is the beginning of their happily ever after. Until their fairy tale love story is tragically interrupted, and neither of them will ever be the same.
Author's note: Lifelong soulmates, ridiculous pranks, brother shenanigans, and a feuding town. Protecting You is the Bailey Brothers series origin story. Be there when it begins and fall in love with this wild band of unruly brothers.
The Bailey Brothers is meant to be read in order, and Grace and Asher's story concludes in book two, Fighting for Us.

As they go off to college, they start to drift apart, but when Grace comes home for summer break, he realizes that she is the only one for him. He's never acted on these feelings, because he was worried he'd mess things up and lose his best friend.
Gracey (bear) Miles, is the literal girl next door. She is sweet, pretty and smart. She has had only a few boyfriends, but it just didn't seem right.
She was always holding out for the right guy, but deep down she knew there was only one person who would do. The problem was, to her, he never showed her those kinda feelings.
Now, however, there's no mistaking that she has always been the one for him and he's going to get her and protect her at all costs.
This is such a beautiful and tragic love story. I cannot wait for the next book in this series to find their happy ever after.
Claire Kingsley's writing style is phenomenal. I absolutely know I'm going to adore this series, with these five fascinating men.

Claire Kingsley has an extraordinary gift for story telling; and Protecting You is an exciting promise for what’s to come. I can’t wait to see Grace’s and Asher’s love story to continue and look forward to visiting with old friends from Salishan Cellars; as well as getting to know a new cast of characters in the Bailey Brothers series.
